Kieron Gillen has written an excellent article in the latest issue of The Escapist about the early childhood computer game piracy he and his buddies experienced.
His story about his childhood is as if he had written a story about my childhood. I remember the copy parties with friends after school and on weekends. We shamelessly copied every computer game on the Commodore64 we could get our hands on. And we had fun doing it. Almost all of these childhood friends of mine now work with computers. That would have not happened without our rampant piracy during our early teenage years.
